Blog 33
For this blog, I am going to write about the Evolution of human. Humans were evolving for a long time and reach today’s form. And people are wondering about “Are we still evolving?” We have to think about the meaning of Evolution. Evolution is the changing of characteristics that fit to the certain environment. In the past, there were no TV, cars, computer, etc. Humans had to move themselves and hunt animals to survive. So, brain evolved to make the tools and body evolved to use them. And while humans evolve, they form a comfortable environment to survive. Today, we are living in very comfortable circumstances. By these kinds of circumstances, humans might not need Evolution. However, Evolution does not stop even if people want to stop it. Comfortable environment does not mean humans stop their evolution. While it is too comfortable, humans do not move as they did before and rely on the tools. Evolution occurs in this situation. People are getting fat and lose their exercise capacity. Also, while we have air conditioner which controls the temperature, humans may lose their furs which cause them to bear the changes in temperature. Moreover, in the future, we may have only one finger because people may be doing everything by clicking buttons of controller. We can call this an Evolution, but also call this Atrophy. So, humans are still evolving today by losing their abilities to do their works. If humans want not to evolve in this way, they should not feel comfortable about the situation they are having and try to work to evolve for the better ways.

Oh my, when I think of evolving, I never considered us only having one finger. That kind of grosses me out! I think you're right though. Tons of people are very lazy in today's world and I can even see my laziness at times. So I try to do little things to help myself out like walking instead of taking the bus.
ReplyDeleteDo you think we're capable of evolving in better ways? You pointed out that Evolution does not stop. I can't think of any ways right now where we could benefit from evolving. All I can think of is evolving because of our laziness.
Nice blog topic!
I can't think of any better ways for now. However, while it takes for a long time for humans to evolve, if people try to use all parts of the bodies and work hard, I think we can at least not get atrophy.
ReplyDeleteWell in the conventional sense "evolution" is progressing into something more advanced than what we are currently in. I think in today's world, it sometimes seems like we are not evolving, but really going backwards because of, like you said, the lazy people who sit around being comfortable and not doing anything. But, on the other hand, there are those very few special intelligent people that come up with new advanced theories and products that DO make us move forward. I think its that small population of very smart people that move us forward.
ReplyDeleteI read an article that if we consider the earth age as 24 hours, only 1second is the period that people lived in Earth.
